This crocheted pumpkin or Jack O’Lantern is just the thing for Halloween. You can make it to hold the candy to give to goblins and ghoulies or your own little trick-or-treater can use it to hold their loot. Try different yarns for different sizes, or try felting one made from wool. The sophisticated pumpkin is shown in Lamb’s Pride Bulky, while the fun Jack O’Lantern is made from simple Sugar ‘n’ Cream, making it perfect for hauling the loot.
